The BRABER EQUIPMENT 3 Point Hitch
Wood Chipper is a rotor with blades for
chipping wood. A hinged feed hopper moves
the wood material into the rotor. Each rotor
is designed with 4 blades and a twig-breaker
to generate the small pieces of wood.
A stationary knife at the rear of the rotor
housing is placed by the moving knives to
shear, chip or chop the material.
The tractor provides rotational power
through a PTO shaft on the front of the frame
and hydraulic power for the hydraulic feed
hopper.
